Power Rangers Dino Charge First impressions

Power Rangers Dino Charge Episode 1: Powers From the Past-
Adapted from no episodes of Kyoryuger

Power Rangers Megaforce and Super Megaforce were shows that
I was hype for when they first aired from the dissepiment that was samurai the
year before, and well SMF was a letdown overall. and now he are here to talk
about the newest Power Rangers season Dino Charge, I have been keeping my
expectations for this season at an all-time low even when Judd Lynn was announce
to return as the writer.

We begin IN SPACE with a small ship escaping
from behemoth sized ship attacking the small ship. We are then shown our
villains for this season fury (Dogold in Kyoryuger), wrench (Aigaron in
Kyoryuger), Poisandra (Candelilla in Kyoryuger), and finally our first PR
exclusive villain since Tenaya 7 from RPM Sledge (underwhelming name I know,
now Sledge is our replacement for High Priest Chaos, kinda obvious why he was
replace but that is my reason on guessing). Now design wise he is ok, not
something I really call Badass like Lord Baron from Gaim, but not bad either
but his gun is kickass looking tho, and the foot soldiers of the season of the
season Vivix (called the Zorima in Kyoryuger). the mange to attack the ship and
the ship fall to earth and we then hearing the opening and MY GOD IS IT FREAKIN
AWESOME I mean for the past 5 years it has just been "Go, Go Power
Rangers" and DAMN it the opening just REALLY GOOD just listen . Also the rangers did not
shout their name when we saw there tittle faces, this just shows you how the
show has been improving. on the prehistoric earth we see the Keeper, now a lot
of people were disappointed in the fact that this is not Torin and yah I'am
underwhelm buy this guy design overall. The Keeper is greeted by a t-rex and
the keeper then tells the T-rex to go and get more dinosaurs to give them the
Energems (in Kyoryuger the Energems they were batteries from the dead sprites of
dinosaurs which make sense here as well). But wait we see the Keeper has only 10 Energems, where will the other Energems come form, in the 4th Episode the rangers will have there bikes, only 2 way that can make sence is either 1 they make there own Energems or the Keeper had more. Fury then finds the keeper and
believes he is dead he is about to make sure that he is dead but then finds the
Energems and take it back to his ship. Back on his ship there are cell blocks
holing Sledge bounty and I gotta say that is a great way to do the monster of
the week idea making more sense because we usually don't do that idea, it's
like Time Force in a way so that the convicts would not revolt against slug.
Also Sledge is holding up bounty pictures and we see Monkeywi from jungle fury
which raises a LOT of questions. furry returns to the ship and it's a bomb, he
could have checked the container first but nope, the bomb goes off and sends
fury back to earth and sends sledges meteors to earth as well which shows that
this is how the dinosaurs die (and I assume one of those rocks had super powers
on them which is how the events of Dino Thunder took place (and it adapted from
the BEST SENTAI EVER!). We cut to modern day earth at a museum called the amber
beach dinosaur museum and we see our main rangers for the show Tyler and Chase,
(there is a café called the dino bite café HA :| ) Shelby, and finally Koda
(Koda is said to be a cave man but he is already awaken from his prison as we
see already). The only ranger we do not see in the first episode is the green
ranger Riley but instead who we do see instead is Kindle, Kindle is rumored to
going to be the purple ranger for the more proof is given with in one of the
promos she is making the dino charger. Tyler then goes to the volcanic cave
(because it is in his dad's journal more on that latter) and he is attack by
the monster (it was not stated in the episode who he is but the PR Wiki said he
is iceage, so I will call him by the name), he get away from the Iceage and
then finds the T-rex Dino Energems. Earlier hid on a truck to a dig site and
then we see Iceage get the pink Energems, then Tyler appears and help her out,
there is a bit of actual comedy here when Tyler is about to get his shovel but
instead get a banana and his underwear. Also love that instead of heroic
fighting they are questing what to do and how to fight the monster which i do
like, the monster. Both Tyler and Shelby are WELL..... but the Energems
unfreeze them which make sense in a way given power and energy, then they get
there morpher that suddenly appears, and when Tyler uses it for the first time
Shelby says “Nice Shooting Tex" straight from Ghost Busters, they then
turn into the rangers, also this has to be one of the first times the rangers
did not have a morph sequence and the rangers were in, cloest you get to is in
space. They then fight off Iceage in all American footage and it's a pretty
cool fight scene too and the Fight ends with the T-rex Zord appearing and
throwing Iceage (from what I heard Dino Charge has a more higher budget then
the last few seasons.Tyler then tells
Shelby about how when he was 10 his dad left (GEEZ a family member missing NEVER
HEARED THAT BEFORE IN A JUDD LIN STROY BEFORE, NUGE NUGE WINK WINK) and the
first episode ends with Furry appearing and going to get the Energems.

Overall 4/5

A really different begining

That
is really how I feel about this first episode this is something completely
different from well something we’ve seen in the neo Saban era. Really the
opening episodes in the neo Saban era is mostly give out “who these charters
are” and then ACTION, ACTION, ACTION. Here tho here tho more development on the
villains and the origins of this world, then on the charters, then finally all American
fight footage. it's not perfect mind you since for starters the CGI is really,
REALLY BAD, a PS1 game is better, and also how did the Keeper talk to the dinosaur
and the dinosaurs is able to understand, and finally the acting is WELL let
just say this place does take place in New Zeeland come. but other than that I really
did like this opening a lot for starters the villains are all inserting and
can't wait to see more of them, Fury and Sledge are the ones I'am most inserted
in, I can say the same thing too for the charters as well, Tyler is a
adventures guy looking for his dad, Shelby is a cute derpy but do wanna see
more of, Chase is your cool guy Kindle is this smart and in charge woman, and
Koda is Koda, and that fight scene was good. I'am now having hopes for the show
as a whole now and now excited to see more of this show. Come back in 4 week
where i will do my first impressions on the 39th Sentai Shuriken Sentai
Ninninger.
